Sustainable Youth-Driven Local Innovation Incubators;
http://lone-eagles.com/alaskan-innovators.htm
"We'll make it or break it at the local level." Former FCC Chairman Julius Genochowski
We need to mobilize our digital youth, provide incentives for innovation, and
to effectively teach the innovation process to all generations of entrepreneurs.
For the first time in history, there are more entrepreneurs over the age of 50, than under the age of 50!
Two new proposals for Alaskan village social innovations with tech and social media to produce scalable measurable outcomes:
Alaskan
Native Innovation Incubators Proposal to the Blackstone Foundation, serving as a model
for Montana, too.

A Top Ten for CyberSeniors: What is Broadband and What's in it for me?
10. Fingertip access to the world's knowledge base for
self-directed education and entertainment.
Find the best info. on your greatest interests, and discover new interests.
9. Eventually everyone and everything will be interconnected, and
many essential services may only be available online.
You need to see what's
available to you now, health info, government services, and much more.
8. A community's GPA (Good People Acting) is the number of locals
helping others match specific needs with available
resources as a mutual
support social network. If we all share what we know, we'll all have access to
all our knowledge.
You need to see how you can help others, and how others can
help you.
7. Independent living can be dramatically extended via 2 way video
Telecare and other services, and the potential exists
for flextime telecare
employment from the social safety of your residence;
Elders helping Elders.
Homebound
elders can tap a button and be face-to-face with anyone, anywhere, anytime, at
no cost. Try it, you'll like it!
6. Everyone can be both learner and teacher using easy to learn
web-based tools which allow anyone the opportunity to
both learn and teach;
anything, anywhere, anyone, anytime. Enjoy the satisfaction of sharing “the
love of learning”
by sharing what you know, and/or can learn along with others.
5. Whatever you put online can be an enduring contribution to the

asked a panel, “Has your generation accomplished what you thought it would?”
The answer came back “Not Yet.”

3. One third of seniors live alone. Seniors dating websites
are very popular. With a $20 webcam you can enjoy meeting
new people via 2 way
video using www.skype.com (and enjoy face time with friends, family and
grandchildren, for free.)
2. Seniors are the fastest growing group on the web, particularly
with social media, where you can join communities of interest,
find both old
friends and make new ones. The new
web-based tools are easier to learn and more powerful than ever!
1. We all need
encouragement and broadband gives us the opportunity to help others maintain a
positive attitude toward life; sharing good humor, and life-affirming beauty in
photos, videos, stories and evolving new media.

Senator Baucus has an I.T. eco-dev summit in Butte Sept. 16th, noting health I.T. is where most new jobs
will be coming from; 28% of new jobs. If we could get Gigabit speeds and model new H.I.T. job creation,
Dillon could make a name for itself as an intentionally innovative community.
The potential is to create HIT businesses that can serve anyone, anywhere, anytime, while employing Montanans specifically.

Below is an article on Butte as the hub for Giga, and Terapop connectivity. I believe a 360 high speed line goes through Dillon?
Who needs Google? There's now a Tera-POP in rural northwest Montana.
http://www.matr.net/article-55406.html
Dillon’s Future:
I would like to revisit the current status of opportunities to connect
Dillon's anchor institutions with major opportunities on multiple
fronts.
I'm familiar with USUCAN, US Ignite, and multiple Gigabit cities
initiatives. The FCC commissioner has set as a goal, at least one
gigabit city in each state by 2015.
I'm on the board of the rural telecom congress, and am on the FCC connect2compete.org curriculum committee.
Missoula is looking hard at connecting with the Gigapop in Butte:

pages of Sample Links for Seniors for Future Review
It is vitally important to realize anyone
can google up hundreds of links for seniors within minutes, and share those they find most valuable
via their own free websites, wikis, blogs, and on and on. That anyone can
create their own clearinghouse this easily means thousands have already done
so. This is intrinsically satisfying; to be able to create value evaluating and
organizing content from diverse sources, and should be part of all digital
literacy training, particularly the most basic training.
Note that many of these links below are
to whole directories, not just individual links.
Info-Gathering Tips:
Based on 20 years info-gathering the best of the best by topic, there are some
tricks.
Know others have already created
looong listings of great resources by topic, search them out using search
phrases “top ten” “directory”, “resources” “lessons or tutorials or courses” etc.
And always check the “other resources” at each site. If they don’t have rich
listings of at least some of the great free resources you know exists online in
profusion, then they are likely a
commercial site interested more in your money than in helping people.
Try these search phrases at Google.com or
any search engine to appreciate the volume of existing resources for seniors

Retaining Retirees in the Workforce
The delivery and visuals would be an important dynamic to make
these top ten reasons truly compelling, but here's a quick first effort. We learn best hands-on, so short first
positive experiences with each of these as an alternative digital literacy
curriculum or as a pre-12 week course experience might be something to pilot and
assess feedback. The more humor
and compelling visuals you can infuse into this, the better it will be - as
your challenge for your clients to "one-up" your first effort. Everyone can add value to their
discoveries by collecting their best of the best and posting them as webtours
or similar new media resources to save others time and excite interest.
Consider a competition for "The top ten most amazing first
Internet experiences for Newbies."

<http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/brainpickings/rss/~3/kP0DRva7BUo/>via <http://www.brainpickings.org>Brain
Pickings by Maria Popova on 1/19/12
Why “information overload” is
the wrong lens on the issue, or what sugar and fat have to do with Hollywood.
<https://www.amazon.com/dp/1449304680/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=braipick-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=1449304680&adid=1WCH70TCA3X9Z322SYMF&>
“You are a mashup of what you let into your life,” artist
Austin Kleon recently <http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2011/09/27/steal-like-an-artist-austin-kleon/>proclaimed.
This encapsulates the founding philosophy behind Brain Pickings —
a filtration mechanism that lets into your life things that are interesting,
meaningful, creatively and intellectually stimulating, memorable.
Naturally, I was thrilled for the release of Clay Johnson’s
intelligent manifesto for optimizing the 11 hours we spend consuming
information on any given day (a number that, for some of us, might be <http://www.theatlanticwire.com/business/2011/07/maria-popova-what-i-read/39328/> frighteningly higher) in a
way that serves our intellectual, creative, and psychological well-being.

Attached
are some Flash animations from my online courses; there are more
than 100 modules like these, for different
topics, most of which are about
usability and accessibility, aimed at designers

None
of these would be useful for training low-income seniors about the
Internet, of course. My point is
that we may want to create such materials
for that purpose, and I've done a lot of
that, efficiently and effectively.
I
have a lot of experience using exciting media to make the same point that
a static document, slide, or website can
-- it simply works better, and it's
evident to everyone.
BTW
-- here's a great example of exciting media to convey a complex idea
from a 'boring' domain, on world economic
development statistics:

from
mary ann van cura to All Participants:
for a few
years, local organizations have supported collaboration and sharing of best
practices via staff time to participate in the
Technology Literacy Collaborative,
http://tlc-mn.org we are developing relationships across
sectors without a budget at the moment, with some staff time contributions, and
a local foundation-funded website (site improvements to come)
from
Jennifer Peterson to All Participants:
Stay in touch through Crossroads: http://www.webjunction.org/crossroads
Our soon to be funded research might
include:
1. Examples of the best existing videos
related to A. relevance, B. training basics (how-to) C. topical new things that
are easy to learn.
2. Examples of the best commercial
alternatives, Steve's Webwise, Oates, and others, for comparative review I.E.
Cost/Value/Results
3. What new tools encourage local folks
to create fun, social learning opportunities for each other, including but not
limited to videos.
The nature of social media is sharing
what's new, so establishing a scheduled flow of new mini-lessons, short
"how to" apps, etc., appears to be what's proving to be popular.
Dozens of examples exist, from the free app screenchomp (see screenchomp.com
) to the Ipad explaineverything app (free and like Jing) - which allow
anyone to talk and doodle to create a video, or talk and use any ipad
application to explain its use to others via a video.

Aging in the Connected Home -

CABA is
about to undertake an ethnographic research study to determine potential
connected home product, service and business opportunities based on needs and
expectations of the senior consumer market to support aging-in-place. If it
actually gets funded, I’ll be Project Manager.
